Twenty-one others were injured in the tragic shooting.
Juda Myers, founder of the pro-life organization Choices4Life, told Live Action that Thalasinos was a “prayer warrior for Choices4Life.” Myers said he also considered becoming a board member of their organization, which works to restore honor and dignity to women and children of rape conception.
“He was an awesome man of God,” she told Live Action.
Some speculated that Thalasinos may have been targeted because of comments he made online about Islam and his support of Israel, according to the report.
A GoFundMe page has been set up for the victim’s family here. Photos indicate that he was married.
